Columbus, Indiana Drug Rehab Centers

When you're looking for a way to get back to a more secure, healthy life, a multi-disciplinary recovery program can help you at any age.

The youngest residents of Columbus have unique needs when it comes to treatment for drug addiction or alcoholism. Children and teenagers respond differently to treatment than adults, and their developmental needs and behaviors must be taken into account.

Some children may perceive inpatient rehabilitation as a punishment -- being "sent away"-- for their behavior instead of a constructive way to make their lives better. Outpatient recovery program treatment provides less supervision than inpatient care, but it allows at-risk kids to stay at home, where they may get more emotional support.

Is family counseling included in the program? Are aftercare services provided? We can help you find answers to your questions about substance abuse treatment at any age.
